Animation

Based on Samuel Beckett's first piece of the series Texts For Nothing, this animation shifts back and forth between the semi-conscious ramblings of a dehydrated rock-climber and his hallucinations. The excerpted text, two tracks of parallel audio, serves as a loose template for the improvisational assemblage of imagery in time. The image of the newborn fetus originates from a photo of a sculpture by Ron Meuck, treated by Arturo Vidich. All other imagery and footage by Arturo Vidich.
